h0uses were thrown onen for temperance
speaking. the clergy took the field and
worked with the zeal of a Congressional
aspraut. The ladies-well they won the
victory for home and children-they were
at the polls early and never left until the
graude,t victory was won that Henry
county ever knew. When il was decided
that the saloons had been defeated people
seemed to 20 wild with enthusiasm The
loud -mouthed cannon carried the news to
our sister counties that Henry had broken
the chains of the.rum demon. Church and
fire bells were ringing at the same time,
steam whistles blowing and for an hour
perfect bedlam reigued supreme. Such
rejoicing was ever before seen. The bows

Almost any night could be seen on the
platform those who had worn the blue

have voted on this question "a nave gone

soon fall into line with Kansas Iowa. Maine
and Vermont, and when tuis is accom-

then she will rank second TO no State in

O'BRIEN'S CASE

Adjourned-The Dublin Fiasco Enraged at
Sullivan's Escape.
LONDON, October THE Tory press
raise q tremendous howl over the state
procession of Lord Mayor Sullivan to and
from court yesterday and declare the pro-
ceeding to have been an unparalleled piece
of impudence and insult to the crown.
The Dublin Express Conservative states
that the magistrate who heard and dis
missed the case of the Government against
Lord Mayor Sullivan for publishing in the
Nation reports of meetings of suppressed
branches of the National League, was tas-
tidiOus in his Interpretation Of the law.
The paper deDrecates yesterdays proceed
ings, and characterizes the result rs a
tiaScO,
The FTeeRdR'S JOUrRai, of Dublin,
prOphesies similar result tor all future
attempts OF the Government to prevent
the publication of reports of the National
League.
The general rejoicing over the result Of
the trial which took place III Dublin last
night was as gall and wOrmwOOd TO the
disappointed partlsans of the Government
Turn whichever way the might the beheld
evidences of the triumph of the National
lists and the defeat of the Government in
its attempt to force the Coercion
law. The upshOt of the matter,
Nationalists claim, will be that the
Government will will back dawn as grace
fully as it can and make very little, if
any effort TO discover secret League meet
ings in the future, while the attention that
will be paid by the resident magistrates to
the publication of the proceedings OF such
meetings will grow gradually less. Prac-
tically, they say, the law, so far as it ap-
plies to League meetings and the printing
of reports OF their proceedings Is dead
There may be made slight pretence of
keeping n vigilant watch upon the branches
of the organization located in districts that
have lately been disturbed by collisions
between the police and the people, but the
vigilance will soon relax.

KEARNEY IN CHICAGO.
The Pacific Slope AgitatOr Not Allowed to
See the Anarchists.


See the Anarchists.
CHICAGO, October dennis Kearney,
the the agitator, arrived from the Pacific
coast this morning and left for New York
in the afternoon, to take part in three
cornered political struggle waging between
the Democrats, Republicans and followers
of Henry George.
Mr.. Kearney on reaching Chicago made
an effort to see the condemned Anarchists,
particularly Parsons. The Pacific coast
agitatOr was quietly but firmly denied ad-
mission to the Jail by the officers in charge.
He went away lamenting, and telling how
five years ago he advised Parsons to leave
bomb alone and take to ballots or he would
surely get his neck in halter, but Par
sons only laughed.
KeaTney says that on reaching New
York he will make series of speeches
taking the ground thai the question of
questions for the workingmen at this is not
the far-Off issue of land taxation, but, shall
the labOIing people concentrate every effort
upon passing law through the very next
session of Congress making the exclusion of
Chinese from the country ab9OluteY He
will urge that the hands of the Democrats
be strengthened-their representatives at
present being the strongest anti-Chinese
advocates. 1t will be an immeasureably
greater victory, he thinks, for the work
iUgman to. help pass the Mitchell Anti
Chinese bill when Congress assemblies,
than for side issue to weaken the Democ-
racy and indirectly strengthen their pro-
Chinese Republican opponents. After leav-
ing New York Mr. Kearney proposes to
renew the anti-Chinese agitation in the
principal cities of Canada.

convention, and that the constitution will
be bitterly opposed by the ANTS"
A prominent Eastern knight expresses
the opinion that the dissatisfaction over
this matter is very much stronger than the
administration have any idea of. The
"Antisn would have to poll two-thirds
vote to win. The principal point Of oppo-
sition among the "Antis' seems to he that
they do not like rhe idea of the General
officers holding office for two-years term.
They also make the claim that at least
two of the present General officers-Secre-
tary Litchman and Treasurer Turner-are
wholly incompetent. Whether they have
any facts in regard TO the two general Off
GERS named in support of their assertion is
not known.
The administration delegates, when
asked in regard to the matter, state en-
phatically that the charges ef incompe-
tency made against Turner and Litchman
are entirely without foundation. They
say that two better men for the positions
named could not be found in the organizs-
ton. 1t is quite evident that the two fac
tions in the convention fear each other.
The fact that lengthy secret caucuses are
held nightly goes long way 10 sustaining
this belief.
J. p. McCaughey, Secretary of the Co
operative Board of Knights Of Labor, said
this morning that the result Of the vote in
the case of James K. Buchanan, the re-
ected delegate from District Assembly 50,
of Denver, as given by the latter, was false,
and that the vote was unanimous against
Buchanan.

THE IMPROVED ORDER
THE NEW ASSOCIATION OPK. OIL SAID TO
BBA GO"
Secret Sessions Being Held In HinnsapOis-A
Bitter Fight Against POwdsrly-POwjsrly's
Address Criticised By DELEGATES
The Proceedings

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, October T.
The much-talked.O of Improved Order of the
Knights Of Labor has at last materialized
There are about thirty members OF the
X. of l.. General Assembly who are sus
pected Of being connected with this new
branch of the X. of L., and they, with
about ten Others who are not delegates, are
actually holding session of the Improved
Order in this city.
The sessions are held at night, and SC
secretly that the army of correspondents
here have not yet discovered the fact OF
their whereabouts.
Last nig1t they held a protracted SEES
sion lasting into the early morning and
was the most important session yet held.
Over forty members were present, repre-,
senting ten or twelve States. II appears
to be an order within an order. All its
members must also be members of the old
order, and in good standing. Its members
.
but to purify and wrest it from the hands
OF those who now control it.
FIGHTING THE ADMINISTRATION PARTY.
1t was conceded at the meeting last
night that it was almost useless to expect
to accomplish anything at this session, as
they are hopelessly in the minority, but
they agreed to make strong fight against
the administration, and in doing so, by
exposing many things which are now
secret, they hope to turn the tide in their
favor and gain converts from those who
now oppose them.
Many of the best minds and ablest
speakers of the General Assembly are
members of the Improved Order, and il
the policy outlined last night is carried
out some lively scenes may be witnessed
before the close of the Assembly. They
are fully otficered and their organization
complete, with about twenty thousand
members and healthy treasury. They
extend the hand of fellowship to and de-
sire harmony and fraternity with all legiti-
mate labor organizations.
The MEMBERS KNOWN By. NUMBERS.
None of the Pittsburg delegates are
known to he members of the Improved
Order. Joseph l.. Evans and Homer l..
McGaw were seen at the National this
morning and denied all knowledge of the
matter, excepting that McGaw stated that
he had heard some months ago that the
Improved Order existed and while at
tending the Legislature last winter had
been asked to join, but refused.
An Improved Order was started about
six years ago, and then the General Assem-
bly, declared every member expelled who
belonged. Should the same action be taken
now fully One-fourth of the members in at
tendance here will be expelled, providing
their names can be secured, which will be
difficult, as they ore known only by mem
bers, and all transactions and bushes is
done with cipher alphabet, the key to
which is known only to the officers.

State of Trade.

New YORK, October 7.-R G. Dun &
Co, in their weekly review of trade, say:
Every condition for marked advance in
prices has now been supplied that the Gov
ernment or opertors can control. If the
advance does not come it will be clear
that the locking up Of capital in rail-
road and other building, in real estate
operations and in speculations Of
various kinds has q more depressing iDhu-
ence than many realise. The absorption
of the B. & o. Telegraph by the Western
Union removes an important cause Of heSi-
tstion in the stock market; progress to-
ward reconstruction in Reading, and the
settlement of the Western rate trouble re-
moves others Treasury purchases OF
bonds and imports of gold supply money
in abundance, and railroad earnings con-
tinue to exceed those Of last year.

PAUSE FOR REST.
PRESIDENT ARRIVES At MADISON
The Send OF" at Milwaukee-The Vet,
eranS' Salute.
THE USUAL ROUSING WELCOME
Accorded the Distinguished Travellers The
Presidents Address.

MILWAUKEE, October THE day
opened bright and beautiful, sitter a regu
lar down pour OF rain during the night
and everything tended to make the few re
naming hours Of the Presidents stay il
Milwaukee of most pleasant nature.
About $50 a. m. the carriages containing
the Presidential party and the Reception
Committee left the Plankinton House and
proceeded to the Soldiers Home by way
of Grand avenue aud the Blue Mound
road
The sides of the avenue were lined with
people, who dotted their hats and waved
handkerchiefs, while an occasional cheer
broke forth as some enthusiastic Individual
caught sight of his political chief and i'm
parted his enthusiasm to those around.
When the cavalcade arrived at the Sol
diers' Home the manned veterans were
drawn mp in line and saluted the President
and his wife as they drove down the line
and the grounds, the cannon on the green
sward in front of the Home building mean
while booming forth the Presidential sa'
lutte. The time lett before the departure
of the train was so brief that no stop was
made and the carriages drove very rapidly
through the south side of the city and up
into the residence portion Of the Seventh
ward to the lake park, where the hand
some drive way led down to the North
western depot.
A large crowd had congregated about the
decorated pavilion on the platform fOr
fully an hour before the distinguished par
ty arrived, and when the Presidents car
riage came into view it was greeted with a
round of cheers which continued until the
train left the depot
The appearance of Mrs. Cleveland on
the platform was the signal for an especial
outburst Of enthusiasm from the ladies,
who waved their handkerchiefs and para
soils in accompaniment TO the cheering.
Mrs. Cleveland looks bright and fresh, not
withstanding the continual round OF re-
ceptions and leyees which she has under
gone, and smiled sweetly as she accom-
panied her husband to the car.
Mr.. Villas was also the recipient of q
burst of applause as he stepped out of bis
carriage and vanished into the Presiden'
tial car. The train pulled out Of the depot
at about 1890, nearly half an hour later
than was intended. No stops are to be
made between here and Madison, but the
train will slow up ut the larger stations in
order to give the people chance to see
the President and his wife.
No accident or any other dlsagreeable
feature has interfered to mar the Presi-
dents pleasure in this city, and the eutire
party were highly delighted with their
treatment and the admirable arrangements
which characterized their reception and
entertainment

SUPTS.' ROUND TABLE.
First Meeting of the Season Held Last
Evening Mt the Public Library.

First Meeting of the Season Held Last
Evening Mt the Public Library.
The first meeting of the season of the
Superintendents' Round Table was held
last evening in the rooms Of the Board OF
Education, in the Public Library Build
ing, and there were nine members present,
as follows: Prof. L. T. Jones, of Bellaire;
Prof. II. y. Merit, OF Steubenville; Prof.
L. II. Walters, OF st. Clairsville; Prof c.
S. Richardson, of GAINESVILLE; Prof
Walter Mitchell, of Wellsburg; Prot. D.
T. williams, of Moundsville; Prof. II. l.
Peck, of GAINESVILLE; Prof. James Duncan,
of Bridgeport, and Prof W. II. Anderson,
Of Wheeling.
The Round Table is composed of the
School Superintendents of Wheeling and
vicinity, and its object is to meet at stated
times to discuss matters relating TO the in
terests of the public school system. The
last meeting was held in GAINESVILLE, last
June, at which time Prof. Jones was au-
thoriZed to call the next meeting, which
was the one Of last evening.
Among the matters discussed was the
definition of corporal punishment, what it
is understood to mean under the law, and
how it should be administered. In view
of the several suits brought by parents
against teachers in this city recently, this
was quite interesting, and it was thorough
ly discussed.
The next subject taken up was statistical
reports The value of the different kind
of school reports was thoroughly talked of,
and the system OF reports generally dis
cussed.
The question of method for meeting
truancy and some way 10 prevent it, was
interestingly discussed, after which the re-
lative value OF oral and written spelling
was taken up AID looked into. Several
pedagogic maxims were discussed, after
which the members who smoked, lighted
cherOOts and spent an hour or so in talking
over various matters informally and i'll a
pleasant, sociable manner generally. The
Round Table is composed Of genial,
learned set of men, and it is a pleasure to
be in their company. The next meeting
will be held at Wellsburg, four weeks from
last night.
